One Day by David Nicholls
"' I can imagine you at forty,' she said, a hint of
malice in her voice. 'I can picture it right now.'
He smiled without opening his eyes. 'Go on then.'
15th July 1988. Emma and Dexter meet for the first time on the
night of their graduation. Tomorrow they must go their separate
ways.
So where will they be on this one day next year?
And the year after that? And every year that follows?
Twenty years, two people, one day. From the author of the
massive bestseller Starter for Ten."
Light bar meals
available (decide on the day).

"Eureka unpicks the life of a prospector (Hackman) who, after
striking gold, lives out his life in a luxurious exile polluted by
vicious battles with business competitors and members of his own family.
A violent, uncompromising work, the film, scripted by Paul Mayersberg,
has parallels with both Citizen Kane and There Will Be Blood
in its observations on how wealth often comes at huge personal cost."

Starring: Gene Hackman, Theresa Russell, Rutger Hauer, Jane Lapotaire,
Mickey Rourke
